Air frying edamame pods is quick and easy, and the results are far better than boiling. A touch of sesame oil and flaky salt is all you need. Find the simple steps and timing on this page.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen edamame pods (about 10 oz), thawed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Flaky salt

Steps

  1. 01Thaw the edamame and pat the pods dry with paper towels.
  2. 02Toss with sesame oil and flaky salt.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer.
  4. 04Eat by squeezing the beans out of the pod with your teeth. Discard the pod.
You eat the beans inside, not the pod itself. Squeeze one end and the beans pop into your mouth. The air fryer blisters and chars the pod slightly, which adds a smoky flavor to the beans as you squeeze them out. This is a Japanese izakaya staple and one of the fastest snacks in the air fryer.
